This is a thyroglossal duct cyst. The tyroglossal duct may persist and result in a thyroglossal duct cyst (occurring in midline near hyoid bone or at the base of the tongue), thus will classically move up with swallowing or tongue protrusion.
The foramen cecum (of the tongue) is the normal remnant of the thyroglossal duct
lilyoI got it wrong though because the question clearly asks what does this structure (thyroglossal duct) DEVELOP from, not this structure eventually develops to form which structure. If it asked that then I would have picked option A but because it didnt that was the first option I crossed out. +2019-11-16T21:54:05Z
